The Rise of the Empire

"Pay attention to controlling the speed. Our power system is no longer working. There may be problems under forced ventilation!" Hipper kept reminding Yang Yonglin, and the latter also rationally maintained the speed at around 8 knots. If he wanted to kill the Chiyoda, he could only An opportunity, but not now!

The Japanese fleet was as agile as a pack of wolves. They circled the Kaiyuan in a huge circle. Even though the tiger in front of them was exhausted, it was still alive and well! Its illustrious record was achieved on the Japanese fleet!

The Japanese fleet finally chose to cut into the battlefield from the northwest. They will cut in obliquely from the front of the Kaiyuan. According to the normal style of play, the warship will choose to sail in parallel, and then suffocate the opponent with dense shells. A safe and typical battle. After the battle lines are engaged, the Japanese can win!

"The only chance is to cross-cut the Japanese fleet when the other side is charging towards us, forcibly tear the opponent into two pieces, and then find an opportunity to kill the cruiser Chiyoda." Earl Spey still served as the chief of staff with all his heart and responsibilities. He put forward his own suggestions from the perspective of a gunnery expert. The fleet took advantage of the chaos, then suffocated Chiyoda with dense artillery, and then killed the opponent with heavy artillery or torpedoes! As for the rest of the matter, we can only resign ourselves to fate!

Boom, boom, boom! The Japanese opened fire! At a distance of 2,500 meters, four Japanese cruisers fired intensive shells, and as the Japanese expected, the Kaiyuan began to turn, and aimed its scarred sidestring at the opponent! The remaining artillery began to assign targets, suppressing three enemy ships at the same time with one's own strength!

"You lost your last chance! Yang Yonglin! You made our sacrifices and blood worthless!" Amidst the explosion and flames, Earl Spey cursed loudly! Just now, Yang Yonglin did not adopt Earl Spey's style of play! Instead, they used the most conservative and least promising tactics, fighting in parallel battles!

With a "boom", the entire conning tower shook violently. Earl Spey wobbled and failed to stand still. He fell to the side table, and at this moment a pair of big hands supported it. "Believe me, Chiyoda will definitely die." Yang Yonglin's voice sounded from the side.

"There is no suspense in this kind of battle!" Countless shells fell on Kai Yuan like raindrops, and clusters of bright yellow flames exploded on the ship's deck. The violent explosion blew the flames to spread around. At this time, any action that tried to put out the fire It was almost futile, the Japanese high-explosive bombs were constantly sweeping the entire deck, and it was almost impossible for anyone to survive for 30 seconds without protection.

Under the repeated blows of shells, the hard Krupp armor will also collapse. The impact and explosion of the shells will test the defense system of the battleship again and again. The connecting part was destroyed, Liu Ding was ejected by the violent shock, and then the entire armor plate was lifted up in a violent explosion! Then countless shrapnel and flames poured into the cabin from the breach.

Compared with the current Kaiyuan, the Kasuga is too strong, and the Takasago is also a ruthless character that is difficult to mess with. The current position of the Kaiyuan is in the middle of the Japanese fleet! Only Takasago and Chiyoda's gunfire had a better angle of attack. At this time, the slow speed of the Kaiyuan seems to have become an advantage. When passing in front of the Kaiyuan at a high speed of 12 knots, the Japanese found to their dismay that they were so much faster than the Kaiyuan that they quickly Just missed the opponent....

After a while, the Japanese helplessly lowered their speed, set the speed at about 8 knots, almost relatively still with the opponent, and then began to attack the opponent step by step until the opponent sank, or surrendered? At this time, Kaiyuan's defense is more troublesome to the Japanese than its remaining firepower. The dense high-explosive shells are still limited in effect, and the armor-piercing shells are not as effective as the former. If nothing else, this battle will continue a period of time!

"It seems to be at war." Not long after the two sides fought, a British cruiser gradually approached the battlefield,

In terms of maritime intelligence collection capabilities, the British are definitely the most powerful presence in the Far East at present, and the last time Kaiyuan was targeted by opponents, it was a masterpiece of the British! The last battle in the Far East Sea, the British also want to see how this war will end.

"Even with well-trained naval officers and soldiers, coupled with the powerful combat power of the Kaiyuan, it still cannot change the result. The Beiyang Navy is worthy of the name of the elite. They failed in strategy and country." Major Carlson said with a sigh . His tone was full of admiration.

"So this is the fundamental reason why the empire supports Japan instead of the Qing Dynasty! The Qing Dynasty cannot meet the needs of the Empire, only Japan can. It is a brand new country with strong vitality and ambition." Major General Fremantle paused He continued: "However, adhering to the principles of humanitarianism and chivalry, once the battle is over, we need to quickly isolate the two warring parties. To prevent certain unpredictable things from happening again."

Fremantle brought a cruiser here not only to watch the battle, but more importantly, to "avoid the intensification of the German-Japanese conflict!" After all, there are still a large number of Germans in Kaiyuan, and the relationship between Germany and Japan is now at a very delicate stage , there are calls for reconciliation within the German government, if something happens at this time... The consequences are disastrous!

"The Japanese are a bunch of beasts." Major Carlson's words were full of sarcasm, "Not only because of the atrocities they committed in North Korea and the Northeast of the Qing Dynasty! More importantly, their brains are full of muscles! Reckless box beasts The same, or mad dogs! They don’t understand strategy at all, and the relationship between the army and the government! The army is a knife in the hands of the government, and people have to command the knife, but the knife cannot command people!”

And just as the British approached the battlefield, another fleet agreed to also approach the battlefield, but unlike the relaxed British, this fleet was full of murderous intent! If the British are "as far as possible" to avoid the tragedy, then the German fleet is to prevent the tragedy at all costs!

"What if we are late?" asked a German officer.

"Then send the Japanese into the sea just like what His Highness the Prince did!" Scheer said without hesitation, but he was authorized to use force in the country within limits!
